The reasoning is that active ingredients begin working on contact, while irritation is largely a function of \u003cem\u003eduration\u003c\/em\u003e. Applying something potent for a minute and then removing it captures much of the benefit and little of the downside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also means the concentration on the label is not directly comparable to a leave-on serum. A 21% one-minute peel is not \"seven times stronger\" than a 3% leave-on toner — they are different things entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy succinic acid rather than salicylic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid produced by fermentation.
